Really? I work with kids and that's not really my experience. One of them told me what one of their friends posted on Twitter, which I won't repeat here, but shows that they really, really have no idea.
I meant it more in the idea that they are less apt to hide what were traditionally "private" thoughts. Its less about trying to live by the standards of generations before them and more about embracing the new blurred boundaries of public and private.
What you consider offensive or career limiting might be totally irrelevant in 10 years because anyone will be able to find anything someone ever said.
